<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br>
<br>Hungry Girl, 
<br>
<br>Is there a delicious and microwavable guilt-free breakfast sandwich out 
<br>there? 
<br>
<br>Breakfast Girl  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Hi Breakfast Girl, 
<br>
<br>Yes, there's actually one line in particular that I love. Jimmy Dean makes 
<br>these breakfast sandwiches called D-Lights. They come in three varieties (all 
<br>great) and feature egg whites (no yolks). There's a Canadian bacon one with 
<br>American cheese (230 calories, 6g fat, 2g fiber -- POINTS&reg; value 5*), a 
<br>Black Forest ham version with Swiss cheese (240 calories, 6g fat, 2g fiber -- 
<br>POINTS&reg; value 5*), and a turkey sausage one with American cheese (260 
<br>calories, 7g fat, 2g fiber -- POINTS&reg; value 5*). Actually, I'm really glad you 
<br>asked about breakfast sandwiches, because even though I've written about 
<br>the D-Lights before, there's something important about them that I want to 
<br>address. The instructions on the box say to microwave the frozen sandwiches 
<br>for two minutes. This is way too long. If you nuke one of these sandwiches 
<br>for a full two minutes, it will become overcooked and rubbery. I've actually 
<br>heard from people who say they do NOT like these sandwiches because of 
<br>how rubbery they turn out, and I think that's really a shame. These 
<br>sandwiches are GREAT -- but you need to heat them for just about a minute 
<br>in the microwave. When they're nuked for too long, the texture becomes 
<br>really odd and, well, RUBBERY. Hear that, Jimmy D? Change the box 
<br>instructions!!! (Sorry, didn't mean to yell.) If you're feeling wild and up for a 
<br>challenge slightly more difficult than simply tossing something in the 
<br>microwave, try whipping up HG's EggaMuffin -- that's only got 165 calories 
<br>and 1.5g fat (POINTS&reg; value 3*). Yum! 
<br>

<br>Hi, Hungry Girl! 
<br>
<br>I saw your recipe for the chocolate muffins made from just a box of devil's 
<br>food cake mix and a can of pumpkin. I was wondering, could I use any kind 
<br>of cake mix with the pumpkin and get the same results? I was thinking of 
<br>using a spice cake mix. 
<br>
<br>Cake Craver  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Cake Craver, 
<br>
<br>Great thinking! And the answer is YES. You can actually add a 15-oz. can of 
<br>pure pumpkin to ANY flavor of cake mix, and bake up a delicious treat with a 
<br>brownie-like texture. I've heard spice cake works particularly well with 
<br>pumpkin (not surprising at all!), and I've heard good things about yellow 
<br>cake, lemon cake, and more. I love to experiment with cake mixes and guilt-
<br>free ingredients -- you can save so many calories and fat grams by using 
<br>things other than oil and eggs. Feel free to play around with stuff like egg 
<br>whites, unsweetened applesauce, and even diet soda. I love doing this with 
<br>Pillsbury Reduced Sugar Cake Mixes, since they're a bit lower in calories 
<br>than most mixes. We made a great cake here at the HG HQ by mixing a box 
<br>of the Classic White with 4 egg whites, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 
<br>1 1/4 cups water (that's it!). It cooked in practically half the time called for 
<br>on the box, and each serving (1/12th of the pan) had just 168 calories and 
<br>3.5g fat, plus a gram of fiber (POINTS&reg; value 3*). That's way fewer calories 
<br>and fat than a regularly prepared piece of cake, and it tasted just as good! 
<br>Be adventurous, people! Or just click here for the Yum Yum Brownie Muffins 
<br>recipe, featuring devil's food cake mix!
